"When he was 9 years old, we got into a snapping contest, and I'll never forget, he told me my nose looks like an upside-down black power symbol. That joke still works to this very day." --Charlie Murphy

Highlights: Eddie Murphy was honored for contributions to comedy Wednesday night on Spike. That meant watching Tracy Morgan come out in a "sexy" red leather suit with an oiled chest, in homage to Murphy's Delirious comedy concert film, and listening to Chris Rock's stories of how Murphy treated white women in the club, among many other heartfelt recollections from some of the world's top comic and acting talent.

It was a room full of funny men -- Tyler Perry, Arsenio Hall, Keenan Ivory Wayans, Adam Sandler, Charlie Murphy, Samuel L. Jackson and Martin Lawrence all paid tribute to Murphy as well. But the highlight of the night had to be when Murphy left his seat, jumped onstage and sat beside Stevie Wonder as they traded lines, singing the musician's 1973 funk workout, "Higher Ground."
